She praises him as her ideal leader, comparing his noble character to the legendary patron Seethakkathi and his sweetness to grapes. She reflects on how their lives, despite starting as two opposite poles in the world, have harmoniously united to create complete bliss. This union illuminates her heart like a new dawn, guiding her life forward as he assumes the role of the charioteer of her happiness.
